Please scent me for a wedding!

Hi all you fabulous people,

I'm going to my bestest cousin's wedding next weekend, I'm giving a speech (more like limerick), and I'll be wearing a flowy, a-line dress and probably flats. It's not a fancy do, no church, an outdoor ceremony, huge party and loads of dancing I expect.

I was thinking slightly romantic but also feisty. I'm not on the market myself, but I'm always flirting ;-). I really haven't got a clue of what to wear. The weather here is and will be soaring.

I think J'Adore is wonderful for warm, sunny, outdoor occasions. That said, I was going to wear J'Adore for my baby shower last weekend, but when I looked at my fragrance wardrobe, my bottle of Estee Lauder Jasmine White Moss jumped out and I thought, "Oh, DUH!" And it was absolutely perfect. So, even though I haven't tried Diorissimo (it's on my test list, just need a sample!), I wonder if it's similar in feel to JWM and might also be just the ticket?

I also strongly second ineespenes' suggestion of LCaP. I've only sampled it, but liked it very, very much and would also think it perfect for an outdoor event with flirting.

Hi all,

thanks for all your suggestions for Saturday's wedding. In the end I went with roses, fresh, flirty but oh so romantic roses. I woreMiss Charming by Juliette has a gun and it felt perfect. The wedding was a riot, who knew Aussies and went so well together? The bride is Swedish and the groom Australian, and nearly 50% of the guests were Aussies.

Sounds like it was fun Trikkirikki! Glad you found something that fitted the occasion and I bet you smelt wonderful .

Re: Please scent me for a wedding!

Great choice there from Trikkirikki - and kind of a nice thing to tell people you're wearing too. "Me? Miss Charming, darling!"

OK, so now I'd like your help for exactly the same reason: I have a wedding in late September in Derbyshire. It's an afternoon service in a private chapel in a school (very trad) and a marquee on the lawn at home for the reception. I suspect it's going to be pretty formal, and I don't want to overpower anyone with my fragrance, but on the other hand, I don't want to wear something vanishingly meek. I'm married, mid forties, rubenesque and mum to The Famous Small (She's doing grand, btw.)One final point is that you can pretty much name anything, whether in my wardrobe or not, as I have an astonishing stash of samples that kind friends have sent me and whatever I take will have to be decanted down to 'airline friendly' size.

I prefer woods, spices, figs, greens, leathers and citruses to anything floral (apart from lavender, which I love) and I want to avoid anything too skanky because of being in confined spaces. I'm perfectly happy to wear masculines, celebuscents and anything else.

Okay, I'm a little tardy for my suggestion to trikkirikki....

but for Wordbird, since the ceremony sounds steeped in tradition I'm feeling a Guerlain would be the perfect house to choose from, and after cruising through your 'drobe, Nahema jumped right of the screen! After the ceremony, when the celebrating begins, spritz right over the top with one of your personal faves! Something that makes YOU FEEL CELEBRATORY!!!! Then, just have a ball!

Re: Please scent me for a wedding!

Thanks UBU, I will get out my little tiny mini of Nahema and try it again. It might be exactly the answer.
I'm now auditioning scents that I think might work and I like Ormond Jayne Woman very much, also Penhaligon's Maharanih and Chanel No 22. But I'm keeping on trying. I think I might test Vol de Nuit with a view to wedding wear too.
